    They share cigarettes, so I'm assuming they've at least swapped spit before. I'm thinking Little Jimmy was involved.

    Meh. Seems like they are setting something up to get real, but it's taking time.

    With the frenzy that BB finished up with it's last few seasons, I guess we're all hoping it takes off from that fever pitch but it's going to take time.

    BB started out kind of slow--took a while for it to really take hold.

    I'm lovin' it.

    BB had me hooked immediately.

    I think we'll see what steered Jimmy and Mike into the paths they took.
    Maybe why Jimmy changes his name and maybe something tragic with Jimmy's brother too, as the lawsuit unfolds. Jimmy obviously at some point broke bad...somewhat, and has that scoundrel in him

    That scene where Saul shows his brother the letter regarding passing the board shows that Saul is trying to be a "clean cut" lawyer to impress his brother.

    My guess is the brother and the blonde are killed in a hit relating to the class action suit. This is how Saul goes breaking bad.

    Matter of fact, when the brother went out to the car, I thought the hit would go down then. Turns out something completely different happened but it certainly felt like that scene had a negative undertone.

    Its the beginning of betrayal. Jimmy's brother is going to screw him on this case which will push Jimmy overboard. I don't believe a hit will happen as the opposing lawyer has a deep respect for Jimmy's brother. Money ruins all friendships and family, its been the theme of the season with the kettlemens and sauls unquenchable thirst for folded cash.

    6 years before BB, so I expect they won't rush to kill off Kim or Chuck

    Killing the blonde and the brother is like killing a key part of the cast.

    I love the series, its brilliant

    Fucking lawyers, what a dick Chuck is. Well, I guess we now know why Saul changes his name.

    How great is Mike? The scene in the garage was outstanding and his stare down with the drug dealer was classic Mike.

    Pimento cheese sandwich--the caviar of the South LOL!

    Sounds weird but they are pretty damn good.

    Jimmy did everything possible to save Chuck, from commitment to an institution, to saving his life himself. All the while looking up to him and trying to keep his promise to him.
    When the chips were down Chuck called on some ethereal moral high ground and sold Jimmy out. Damn....classic...wow. A crossroads for Jimmy

    So I was wrong about a literal death. But that was a death.

    Definitely read the cards correctly regarding a plot catalyst propelling Jim's immersion into Saul.

    Also, I was still on edge during the "deal" scene even knowing Mike has plot armor.

    What a great show. The stakes are no where near as high as Breaking Bad, but at the end of each episode I'm left wanting more. I can't believe next week is the finale.

    I figured that out before it was revealed officially this episode. So good.

    You know why this show is so good?

    Throughout the whole episode I felt like punching Saul's brother in the face...that scumbag. I still dont know why Jimmy's friend wants him to take the money. Seriously messed up bro he has.

    Love the show, and Mike's moment protecting the dealer was hilarious

    I think Hamlin told her it isn't him, it's Chuck. She told him to just take the deal so that he wouldn't find out the truth that his brother hates him.

    Chuck deasn't hate him. It's the ultimate case of sibling rivalry: Jimmy is good in Chuck's book so long as Jimmy is always beneath him, always the lesser of the 2.

    "Hate" was a strong word, but we're on the same page. More of a hates his lifestyle choices.

    Never would have thought that a few episodes ago, I knew when he brought Kim back in that it was Chuck
